Description: Pictured is a Lancaster B.III, above an overcast sky in early February 1944, a few days after being received by 619 Squadron at Coningsby, Lincolnshire. The aircraft was later lost during an attack on the Gnome-Rhone engine factory at Gennevilliers, France, during the night of 9/10 May 1944. Some of these images have had some dodging and burning done and have been retouched to remove detritus and dust and scratch marks only* Organization: RAF Object Name: CH-12350 Category: MOD Supplemental Categories: Aircraft, Equipment, People, Historic Keywords: Avro Lancaster, Bomber, LM446/PG-H, World War 2, WWII, World War Two, War, 619 Sqn, 619 Squadron, Fighter, Black and White, B&W, Aircraft, Equipment, Historic, Royal Air Force, RAF, Historic Aircraft, Formation, Squadron, Sqn, RAF 100 Country: UK
